1978 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Dixie, Washington, United States
Just email me at: nguyetnddaner@rangersfans.com .
For sale is my 1978 Porsche 911SC, It is white with the black leather/vinyl interior. Pictured is a Recaro racing
seat, which is not included in the purchase of this vehicle. The driver's stock black seat (as on the passenger
side) would be included (as well as its original full interior). For an additional cost, I would be interested in
selling the spare parts I have from other SC's and 930 Turbos which includes almost another entire interior, A/C
parts, turbo decklid, headlights and taillights, turbo width Fuchs etc. I will try to work on photos of all the
parts I have if you are interested in buying them as well. This car just received about $5k in recent servicing
done at Northwest German in Lynnwood area just a few months ago. Within the past 1K miles its has also received
brand new Potenza RE-11's (205/55/16 and 245/45/16), brand new battery, brake service/flush, engine cleaning,
rebuilt fuel system (tank, pump, filter and lines/hoses), new spark plugs, transmission service/flush, oil change
and the addition of new adjustable rear sway bar end links. This car is ready to go to its new home. This car runs,
drives and stops great. It was imported from Europe by the previous owner, which is why it has the Amber rear
corners as well as some other features only Euro cars have, such as the headlights, I have been told. Actual
mileage unknown, however the car was imported with 88K km's, but had a odo/speedo replacement for MPH/Miles and it
reads much higher than true mileage. The undercarriage and cleanliness (read lack of rust) shows that this is a
lower mileage example, always with proper storage. Paint is really shiny however, it does have rock chips, due to
its age if you look closely. Honestly it looks astounding driving down the road and would make for a great track
car or daily driver. It is not a show queen or a concourse winner. The interior has recently been refreshed with
felted racing carpets (dark grey), RS door panels and a WEVO Shifter really help make this interior look and feel
new. The car does have a bolt in rear cage as well as a handful of suspension modifications (front and rear sway
bar/strut tower brace, Bilstien shocks, lowered etc.) It also has an aftermarket exhaust system which sounds great
as well as a Momo steering wheel. This post is a feeler as I am considering a new car and would need to make room.
Let me know if you have any further questions and please don't waste your time trying to lowball me.

The 2014 Ruf RCT offers rear-drive action with 911 Turbo fun
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Ruf has 37 years of experience of turning Porsches into even higher performance machines. For the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it's unveiling the RCT, or Ruf Carrera Turbo, which offers power to split the difference between Porsche's 911 Turbo and Turbo S models.
The RCT starts with a unique body kit with a new front air dam and drastically changed rear deck that combines both a small spoiler and air intake. Power is provided by a twin-turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six with 525 horsepower and 502 pound-feet of torque paired to either a seven-speed manual or seven-speed dual clutch transmission. That gives the Ruf a 5-hp and 15-lb-ft advantage over Porsche's own Turbo but is still less powerful than the full Turbo S. The RCT sprints to 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and to a top speed of 196 mph.
However, the Ruf's big advantage is that it offers buyers the choice of either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while Stuttgart's turbo models are only available spinning all four wheels. The RCT can also offers upgrades like an integrated roll cage and custom suspension packages, should the buyer be so inclined to splash out on racing kit.
Woman rushing to pub nearly causes head-on collision
Wed, Aug 17 2016A woman in a rush to pick up her husband from a local pub caused this close call on a street in England this weekend. The near miss happened on Sunday on the B1253 between Rudston and Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England. A Porsche Cayenne driver attempted to overtake a blue Citroen on a blind curve but didn't see the white Skoda in oncoming traffic. Thanks to the Skoda driver's quick maneuvering on to the grassy shoulder the Cayenne only caused minor damage to the other two cars. Damian Hodgson is the owner of the dashboard camera who was behind the blue Citroen. After the close call Hodgson first stopped to check on the Skoda driver. Driver and car were okay, but a 10-year-old girl in the front seat was in tears. Hodgson then made his way down the road where the Porsche driver was speaking to the Citroen driver. He said the Porsche's driver gave some pretty lame reasons for putting so many people's lives in danger. "She said she was picking her husband up from the pub and was wearing a pair of slippers - but it's no excuse to be overtaking on a blind bend," Hodgson told the Mirror. "She did tell me she always overtakes at that spot though." Hodgson picked up the dashcam after a crash while on vacation in Florida last month. He offered the footage to both the drivers of the Skoda and the Citroen, but both declined. Hodgson told the Mirror that he hopes some good comes from the incident. "If anything comes of this, it is hopefully that the lady Porsche driver has learned a lesson and she will not put others in danger again."

1950s car ads are timeless
Sat, Aug 8 2015Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
